There are no patrol boats working in Western Australia. The coastguard will add to the defence capacity of this State and the Government wants to ensure that those vessels are built here. Mr Barnett: You cannot answer simple questions like that! Dr GALLOP: Take a Bex, calm down and relax. You are the Leader of the Opposition. It is a wonderful job, so enjoy it! The SPEAKER: The Premier and the Leader of the Opposition will come to order! Mr Barnett: This is so boring I want to go to sleep. The SPEAKER: Order! Members want another question.
